Yeah, Hitler's attitude to women was great, apart from keeping his niece prisoner and driving her to suicide, that is. Oh and nearly driving Eva Braun to suicide... before her actual suicide.
The reasons for studying most of the things in that list are self-evident even to a non-expert. Your position is bafflingly ignorant, similar to Sarah Palin's 'stupid scientists studying fruit flies' comment. You deserve a bit of heckling.
If you do all your internet activity through tor, and don't subscribe to cable TV, and find non-identifiable ways to obtain your video entertainment [...]
Then you're one of those unemployable privacy-obsessed nutjobs. You've probably got heaps to hide, and NSA suspicion algorithms mark you as suspicious.
To do this, Apple would need a new OS, or do some sort of horrible blend between OS X and iOS. That's not happening. I think there will be a bigger iPad at some point, but it will just run iOS. It won't be a convertible.
Lend-lease was important, but in the critical 1942-43 period its impact was relatively small from what I've read. Certainly the vast majority of arms used on the eastern front were manufactured by the USSR.The USSR consistently out-produced Germany in all categories.
Your statement that "[The USA] took over the bulk of the military responsibilities of European allies" is WAY off the mark, that was always the USSR. While lend-lease may even have tipped the balance, it didn't add up to making the US contribution the majority effort in Europe. While I know this isn't strictly speaking your point in your response, check out the deaths per front in this http://commons.wikimedia.org/w... - it makes clear the overwhelming importance of the eastern front,
One bloodthirsty dictator beating another (slightly more) bloodthirsty dictator isn't quite as good a story as "America, World Police", but it's closer to the mark.
Overall in WW2 the USA did shoulder a huge responsibility of course, but a good portion of that went to the pacific.
Agreeing with the other reply here, the USSR inflicted 80% of the european axis casualties. Defeat was already certain for Germany by the time of the Normandy invasion.
Having done this twice, I can say that it's trickier than you'd think if you want to do anything but a long string of text. The tools for publishing ebooks are in the stone-age, and files still require a lot of manual tweaking (first time out I gave up on automated tools and wrote the entire thing by hand to the spec). Then you have the various rules of distributers and their buggy validators, which means the process can be very time-consuming.
Define "profound". You make it sound like men and women's minds start from completely different places and end up converging on similarity, but that's absurd. Men and women differ statistically over populations, but individuals might fall pretty much anywhere in the spectrums of things that differ. There's no way I would be confident of identifying the gender of an individual in this sort of scenario. Statistically, I'm sure I could do a lot better than chance, but each one is pretty uncertain.
Yes, I agree. Part of what people have to realise is that they aren't going to compete as watches, they are going to compete for wrist-space as multi-function devices.
If you cant grok why people want pocket computers with GPS, network connectivity, cameras, and phones built in, then you are a complete moron who doesn't understand technology or people.
Maybe they aren't for you, fine. But not being able to "grok" such an obvious thing? That's approaching brain-damage.
But what are they going to change that will make the effort worth it? When I look at the variety of desktops, the majority (perhaps all) of them seem to be tinkering with the same basic concept. It would be much more interesting if this splitting was leading to a drastically different desktop concepts, but it's not.
Yes how could ever compare to groups that might have a significant amount of overlap? It can't be done! There's no branch of mathematics that would allow us to do such a thing! It's impossible.
These are nearly all civil servants, not politicians. Since the boroughs do sanitation, roads, parks, etc., I'm sure there's a lot of systems to interface with.
I would stay with them if they were relatively transparent about what went wrong, and what they are doing to prevent such occurrences in the future. Especially if we're dealing with relatively new sorts of tech services.
This would be defensible if most fiction was good, but it's not. Way too much of it is stupid and predictable. It could do with a good injection of the sorts of uncertainties and unpredictability real life holds.

And yes, he killed that dog too.
So, it doesn't prevent the fingerprinting mentioned?
Does that prevent the fingerprinting techniques they use? I wouldn't have thought so.

You have no idea how science works and knowledge proceeds.
How dare you call me a cunt on Slashdot - where cunt calls you!
Wait... that's not true is it.
Yeah, I'm sure they're all idiots and you have the complete engineering context for this test.
Mugs, it even scans better:
There are two types of Tory, Millionaires and Mugs

Thanks for playing!
An iPad with a hard drive? As in, a spinning disk? That doesn't sound very likely to me, to put it mildly.
Sorry kid, but your mum's an idiot.

The iPad Air is the fifth iPad generation - the 4th generation is confusingly called "iPad with Retina display": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
